Error messages
|
|
Cannot make connection to host
Check the following:
- P4FTP is not running.
- You are not connected to the FTP server (Dreamweaver)
- You did not enter your Perforce user name in the web site's remote configuration (Dreamweaver).
Cannot open remote folder
(Dreamweaver) The folder specified as the Host directory in a site's remote configuration does not exist, or the Perforce client specification Host field specifies a computer other than the one where P4FTP is running.
Can't clobber writable file
(Dreamweaver) Verify that your client workspace directory does not reside in your web site's local root, or vice versa.
Error opening local file
You are attempting to get a file when a read-only copy already resides on your computer. (Perforce sets a file's protection to read-only when you do not have the file open for edit.)

Other questions

Why aren't my Dreamweaver files visible in Perforce?
When you use P4FTP to connect Dreamweaver to a Perforce depot, your changes are made when you disconnect from the remote site (choose Site>Disconnect). If you are monitoring changes to the depot using P4Win, for example, refresh its display after you disconnect and your Dreamweaver changes are displayed.
I created a directory using FTP and it disappeared - why?
If you connect to P4FTP using a command-line FTP client and use the MKDIR command to create a directory in a Perforce depot, Perforce removes that directory when you disconnect unless the directory contains files. To ensure that the directory remains, you can use the FTP "put" command to upload a file to it. Note that the file you upload is added to the Perforce depot when you disconnect.
My command-line FTP client/Dreamweaver froze after connecting/prompting for P4FTP - why?
Windows computers: if you started P4FTP from a DOS window, check whether characters have been selected in the startup window. To unselect the characters (and unfreeze the FTP client), click in the window where you started P4FTP and press Enter.
